FRONT ROTOR REMOVAL

1993 Ford Festiva

Brakes problem
1993 Ford Festiva 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

I cannot seem to get the front rotors off of a 1993 Ford Festiva. I thought they were just rusted on and had to be beaten off. The haynes manual reads if its an Aspire they just come off, if its a festiva it needs dealer service. Someone told me they might be compressed on and even if I get the old ones off I would never get the new rotors on. Is there special tools required for this vehicle?
